Silliest Monster

A lot of monsters in Phantasy Star III get flak for having "silly" attack animations, like the giants that shake a finger. Out of all the classic games, what enemy do you have the hardest time taking seriously?

For me, it's the giant stone heads in PSIII. They wiggle their ears at you... that's just ridiculous to me.

I've had two, the wierd fat women that clap their hands revealing their chests were alwasys funny. As well as those girls with their legs straight up to the sky that would bend the higher leg back and forth in a statue pose, completely unmoving despite the speed at which they kick. I thought that the bosses had funny attacks, esp. Sari, who would wiggle just one knife at you, and someone would die.

I'm sorry, but I love PSIII's silly monsters! However, I can't take the Clops seriously since they blurred out the bottom and you can still see what they tried to censor.

I'd have to say the Catman is the sillest monster. It's CLEARLY a recoloured Cat woman. And you don't have to look too closely to see the * that just scream "I'M NOT A MAN!!" Overall, Phantasy Star III just absolutaly FAILED at making monsters.

I forgot about that one! PSII did have some odd enemies, now that I think about it.

That's not necessarily true, but you are entitled to your opinion. Sure, it had many oddballs and things that were just plain weird, but there's some pretty good ones, too! Besides, the Rappies that appear in PSIV came from PSIII.

The cyclops in PS3 looked weird to me. They have that great big stone on their head... that was really out of place compared to the rest of their human body. Poor PS3 could have really used some better attack animations. Oh, a remake of that game would be so nice!

What about those weird little pixies that would step down, and then up again to cast res on everyone. XD

I'm still stuck on the Cat-men.. Why Phantasy Star III? WHYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!?

Oh, I hated the pixies. Always healing the wounds I had worked so hard to inflict!

I loved getting a slicer character down to chop them all up in one move.
